Finca La Maye X Wool4Life

Merino wool from active transhumant flocks that travel through the Cañadas Reales. A practice in danger of extinction that was declared Intangible National Heritage by UNESCO at the end of 2023.

Ruana Blanket - La Maye Farm

Limited Edition - On Request

Hand-woven on our old wooden looms, it is the culmination of a process that covers all stages, from shearing to spinning. Free of dyes and with full traceability, it reflects the virtues of merino wool from transhumant sheep.

Designed by Karolina and Annika from Finca La Maye , it is available in two natural shades: one darker and one lighter, both preserving the original colours of the fleeces, the result of a process that respects the essence of the raw material and the hands that work it.

Details and Care

  • To ensure the proper care of our clothes, it is important to follow some guidelines when washing them. First, immerse the garment in water (20-25ºC), avoiding sudden changes in temperature to prevent the fabric from shrinking. Use neutral soap when washing by hand, avoiding excess fabric softener during rinsing.

  • When rinsing the garment, keep the water temperature the same and avoid wringing it out to remove excess water. Instead, gently press it between your hands to release excess moisture before laying it flat to air dry.

  • Avoid pulling the edges sharply and handle them with care. To iron, use a medium temperature and follow the vertical direction of the piece.

Shipment

  • The Ruana Blanket is a product that we make to order. Depending on the volume of work, preparation times will vary from 3 to 10 calendar days.
